What's the best advice on dashes at this point. Mine has a big defect in the middle.

Just noticed another post that I missed. The other car is a Lotus Elite. Beautiful car from any angle, even covered. Ginetta was a fantastic guess though. A G4 might be an even sexier shape than the Elite but they are close.

The look pretty good to me, though I've not seen one in person.

Genies are even smaller and lower than the Elite, but the Elites profile is unmistakeable to me, even under a cover

Now I feel like the guy who messed up the Miss Universe Pageant winner announcement! Sorry Alvin, no cash prize as all of my money is going to buy Roadster parts. And to all those interested, yes that is a Ford F150 in the background.

I have a cap and it looks okay, but you can tell it's a cap. The edge is visible around the gauges, knobs, and twisties. Someday I hope to send my dash and money to Just Dashes.35years wrote:...all of my money is going to buy Roadster parts...
